I think the abandon penalty is ridiculous anyway, with or without blue screening. I had to leave a match where both of my (random) teammates were purposely flying into the beam at Harvester to kill themselves and I can't just solo a full squad yet. With the abandon penalty I couldn't even switch from Ranked to regular Play Apex, or even the Firing Range. It's honestly the most stupid thing I've ever seen in a game. I can respect putting it on Ranked matches, but don't block of the regular Apex, you know? Makes me not want to play the game at all.

Stupid teammates and this no-demotion rule from the 4th tier of all ranks makes stuff like this happen more often than it should. People who are stuck at Plat4, Diamond4 etc are free to troll like that without losing anything, and it can feel so unfair if you are Plat 1 and get teamed with two Plat4s who dont give a * and just trolls. And it seems to be that its 100% that the MAJORITY of players that queue solo in both plat and diamond are stuck at tier 4.... Bad ranked game design Respawn.
But honestly; you didnt "have to" leave the match. You could just have played the game, tried to sneak your way to placement score and maybe third party for free kills, or you could have just suicide. Both those alternatives would have been better than just leave.
